A/N: I just finished my first semester of collage. With all of the work, plus a job, I didn't have time to write. And what I did write, was in chapter eight. And we all know how bad that was. So here's chapter nine. Enjoy!
.:Chapter nine:.
I fallowed Ginny and Hermione out of the tent, when Harry, Ron, and Hermione were asked to get water for tea at the tap on the side of the field. Ginny and I stayed with the rest of the family. Percy, Bill, and Charlie came while they were gone. Mr. Weasley asked his eldest sons how work was going. They seemed to talk forever. When I couldn't take it anymore, I turned to the twins.
"What are you two planning?" I asked, remembering the conversation with Hermione and Ginny.
"What every do you mean?" George said, batting his eyes at me.
"You know what I mean! Are you going to stay in your tent? Or try and weasel your way into ours?"
"Marie, love, do you really think our father would let us?" Fred said, winking at me.
"Like you're father can stop you." I said, girnning. "Just don't get Hermione and Ginny involved."
"Mum and dad would never pass up a chance to yell at us. You three won't even be a factor in our plans." Fred said, flashing his perfect grin.
"That's the thing! I have no idea what your planning! I would love to know what it is!" I said, flashing my sweetest smile. That's when I found their fault. The twins just stared at me. The tips of their ears turning as red as their hair. Charlie and Bill saw the twins reactions, they couldn't pass up the moment to poke fun at the twins.
"How in Merlin's beard did you do that!" Charlie asked, laughing. "I've never seen them turn that red before!" Ginny winked at me, and I dramatically fainted. We fell into uncontrollable fits of laughter. Harry, Ron, and Hermione returned from the tap, lost as to what is so funny. Mr. Weasley was trying to get a fire started, but he didn't have the knack to do it. Hermione and I showed him how, though we had to sit for about an hour before the fire was hot enough. We watched as people from the Ministry walked by, greeting Mr. Weasley. The twins and I kept to ourselves, making fun of the men and women walking past our tents.
Fred and George turned to each other and started whispering.
"Now what are you two going on about?" I whispered to them.
Just then Ludo Bagman walked up. He went on about people betting, and the twins bet their life savings. I didn't pay much attention to what was going on, I had read the part how many times? Fred and George asked me if they were right about Ireland would win, but Krum would catch the Snitch. But I kept my mouth shut. They were going to win, and would have to deal with Ludo being a git.
Sales people walked against the current of people on the way to the arena, trying to sell what they could. I bought a pair of Omnioculars. I knew how useful they were during the match for Harry, and even though I knew the out come of the match, I still wanted to see it. Bagman brought up about what was going on at Hogwarts this year, and everyone attacked Mr. Weasley, and when he wouldn't answer, they attacked me.
"I don't know how many times I have to tell you, if I say one little thing about what is going to happen, then everything will be messed up." I said, getting angrier and angrier. The players from each side few out, fallowed my the mascots. Seeing the players fly around, made me wonder who it was that I was flying with a few days ago. But, I pushed that away from my head, this is my first Quidditch match! I should be watching, not worrying!
Just then, the veela came out. I watched as very male in the crowd seemed to drool over them. They were beautiful, but there were men with their wives and children drooling over them! Fred and George were leaning so far forward on their seats, they almost fell out. I couldn't help but be a little mad.
"Wow!" Fred said.
"You took the words right out of my mouth," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm.
"What?" They said together, completely out of it.
"I've never seen you two act like that." I said, smiling.
"I have." Charlie said, and Fred elbowed him.
"Shut it, Charlie."
"What? If she doesn't know by now, she must be pretty slow." Bill said, smiling. "We've only been here a day, and we already know."
"Know what?" I asked, completely confused. George turned to his elder brothers and whispered something in his ear.
"Ohh. I see." Bill said, turning his attention to the field.
After the match Fred and George were all smiles. They won the bet with Ludo Bagman. The two teams gathered in the box we were in, and the Irish were given the Cup. Fred and George stumbled over their chairs to claim their prizes. As we were walking back to the campsite, Mr. Weasley made it clear not to tell Mrs. Weasley about the gambling.
"Don't worry, Dad. We have big plans for this money. We don't want it confiscated." Fred said, giving his twin a high five. Our tents were only a few feet away, when the twins pulled me aside.
"Did you know we were right?" George asked.
"Yes." I said, smiling. I walked into the girls tent before they could ask anymore questions. But, unlike everyone else in the tent, I knew there wouldn't be any sleep tonight. I laid in my bed, dreading when Mr. Weasley would burst into the tent, yelling for us to get up and run. I laid in bed, for what seemed like hours. I heard the screams of everyone, and knew it would only be moments. I got my jacket on, and was working on tying my shoes, when the twins opened the flap to the tent.
"Did you know this was going to happen?" George asked, his face as pale as his twins.
"Yes." I said, as I started crying. I didn't know what to do. "I'm sorry. But there is nothing I can do." We woke up Hermione and Ginny. They dressed as fast as they could. Looking at each one of them, I saw how scared they were. For the first time since I arrived at the Burrow, I wished I wasn't in the book.
A/N: I hope this was better. Review, please. :D
